    Side Repeaters

    I got mine ( smoked ) from here with the chrome repeater bulbs . They sell lots of different styles including clear ones . http://www.body-kit.co.uk/acatalog/renault_clio_mk2_side_repeaters.html

    Collinite Wax 476

    I prefer the Collinite 845 insulator wax to the 476 myself . Lasts just as long but is much easier to apply / remove . http://www.seriousperformance.co.uk/Products,51,toView_67.html

    Neighbour peed me off...

    Tbh the chances are that her dad has called you an idiot and probably not in a joking manner . He's probably one of these curtain twitchers who has nothing better to do than watch others and critisice them . I wouldn't worry about it mate . You've got a nice car , you enjoy keeping it clean...

    testing internet speed

    Not necessarily lied to more like economical with the truth . I had bt years ago and they were a bag o' shite then , i wouldn't trust them one bit . You might be told yes sir , you will get 4mb , 8mb etc ....by a customer service advisor over the phone , but you try and prove it when you...

    testing internet speed

    Who told you you " would " get 4mb . Most providers have the get out clause of " up to " . I very much doubt any isp will guarantee a connection speed You on BT broadband ?? If your only getting 0.7mb thats appalling . I'd be one unhappy bunny too .

    Clio 182 tuning...

    You won't get anywhere near 210bhp from a chip ;) You've already mentioned a couple of things with the exhaust and airfilter . You can look at getting the inlet manifold matched , plenty of posts on this topic on here . A couple of members offer this service . Apparently the inlet manifold...

    karcher foam lance

    It might sound like a bit of overkill , but for the sake of a few minutes extra and piece of mind that i've removed as much crap as possible thats how i prefer to do it anyway.

    karcher foam lance

    Like i said in my earlier post . I powerwash as much dirt of as possible , then high power foam it , leave to dwell a while to help soften any dirt , then power wash that off just with water , then foam again and continue with the washmitt and 2 bucket method .

    karcher foam lance

    Like aceface says . The more dirt you can get off before you attack it with a washmitt the better . Then you've less chance of scratching the paintwork . I never wash my car without first pressure washing it , then foaming it .

    172 car battery

    When i bought a new battery for my 172 it was sealed and ready charged . I had to fit it on the car park of the place i bought it cos the original was fcuked and i needed jump leads to get me going . Sealed batteries can be charged , they are only maintenance free as in they shouldn't ever...

    Clio 172 MPG - Very Good

    ^^^ Don't worry mate , it'll soon drop to 280 miles a tank , lol . I don't think the petrol gauge / comp is very accurate imo . If you try the little trick with the cars comp and check how many litres there are leftin the tank , then fill your car up with say " 20 litres " it never adds...

    slipping feeling on full lock

    I don't think it's anything to do with the tracking . My 182's done this ever since i bought it new . Mine only does it when i reverse out of the garage and put on full lock , the surface is slightly gravelly so it scrambles for grip . Thats the only time mine does it , when the tyres are cold .

    Insurance when outside the uk

    A green card is proof you have insurance in the UK . You used to need them , now you don't so long as you take your insurance certificate with you . You can still get issued with a green card though if you prefer , you'll have to ring your insurance company and get them to send you one ...

    What Exhaust for my 172?

    I've used the guys at Powerflow / Topgear in Burnley . Couldn't fault their work , 90 mins in and out job done :) I'd definitely use them again without hesitation .

    Insurance when outside the uk

    I'm with Adrian Flux and i'm pretty sure i get 30 days cover in Europe , without checking my policy . I would imagine i could extend that if needs be for a fee . From what i understand all insurance companies have to give you cover in Europe free of charge for a limited period . Must be...

    182 servicing- spark plugs

    As said 72k is the recommeded service interval , it's a little optimistic imo . I had to change mine at 30k on my 172 as i was losing power / hesitating up to 2.5k revs . If your not having any problems i'd just leave them .

    new v6?

    They already did . It's called the Megane 225 ;) They won't put a 2 litre turbo in a Clio as this would step on the toes of the Megane powerwise and pricewise .

    karcher foam lance

    I pressure wash the car first to loosen any dirt , then i use the high pressure foam , quick rinse then foam again and proceed with the 2 bucket method .

    karcher foam lance

    Yep . but like i said before . That foam lance is crap .

    karcher foam lance

    The foam lance you posted about from Halfords is an attachment for Karcher pressure washers . It's not a stand alone product you can attach to a hose pipe .

    slipping feeling on full lock

    Mine always does this when i've just get the car out of the garage and the tyres are cold . It also seems to do it more on worn tyres .

    karcher foam lance

    Those karcher foam lances are crap imo . They hold very little shampoo/water and run out quickly . They don't produce much foam either . If you already have a pressure washer you could try my method . Cheaper than any foam lances ;) 11th post down ...

    Pirelli P5000

    I had the P6000's on my 306 S16 and loved em . Some people love em some hate em . A bit like Toyos . Everybody has the own favourites .

    *With the cold weather due check list*

    Good bit of advice there edde . If it gets down to -17 i'll dance naked in Darwen town centre ;) For anyone thinking of changing their antifreeze/coolant it should be mixed in the ratio of 60% antifreeze 40% water . Pure antifreeze does freeze at around -10 .

    Cheap 172 discs, ok or not worth the risk?

    Agree . I'd never buy cheap unbranded discs and pads . You might buy them and find out they are crap then have to buy some decent ones so it would be false economy . Having said that the buyer does have 100% feedback on over 18,000 sales , so there's alot of happy punters out there .

    Who Supplies Std PH2 172 Exhausts??

    Like Dicky says . Powerflow will make you a stainless replica , and it WILL be cheaper than a Renault exhaust . Mine cost £270 fabricated and fitted .
